Bandera de Argentina

/Sounds like "ho" + "seh" + "ARE"/

To steal or swipe, usually small things. It is Argentine street slang that sounds a bit lighter than "robar" (to rob) but means the same thing. Think of it as the equivalent of saying someone "lifted" or "swiped" something. It is common in everyday Buenos Aires slang, especially when talking about petty theft on public transport or in crowded areas.

Example

"Le josearon el celular en el bondi. -> They swiped his phone on the bus."

"Cuidá la mochila que acá josean cualquier cosa. -> Watch your backpack, they will steal anything around here."
